Can this timer be used with CFL or LED Light Bulbs?

I used it at Christmas on my LED lights and am currently using it on a lamp with an energy saving lightbulb

The timer will turn lights on and off but will not ramp up and down. All it will do is provide power and cut power accordingly.

Yes, any standard lamp with any kind of light bulb will work with this product.

I have this working with CFLs in multiple locations. They work great. Also works flawlessly with LEDs.

Yes, it works with CFL, LEDs, fluorescent, etc. I have 2 of these, one hooked to CFLs and the other hooked to LEDs, and it works perfectly fine.

I haven't used it in conjunction with a timer but it does work with a dusl til dawn sensor so I would assume that it would work with a timer as well as long as the fixture is compatible with the bulb itself.

Yes. Works with up to 150 Watts of most dimmable CFL/LED bulbs or 600 Watts of Incandescent/Halogen bulbs.

If it's a dimmable led it will work. Check with your led manufacturer. I'm using this with a cfl and it works fine. You may get some flicker at low levels.

Yes, I have 10 cfl's hooked up on one of these. It also works with the 3 individual exterior wall lights with LED's bulbs. It doesn't matter what bulb you use as long as the voltage is the same.

According to others that have commented on this Timer, it does work with CFL light bulbs. (That's probably because the ST01 uses a battery to keep store the programming for on/off times.)

I've used it with CFL bulbs. It only turns them off and on. There is no longer a dimmer function though.

Dimable CFL might work, or if at least one standard bulb is in the circuit it might also work

I found the switch worked fine with two Cree 9.5 watt bulbs. And to my surprise it also worked with a set of these Triangle Bulbs (Pack of 3) G16.5 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 380 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb E12 Base 5 watt, non dimmable bulbs. I assume the 40 watt incandescent minimum is for provide a sufficiently low resistance ground return to keep the timer powered up. It would appear the internal power supply for most LEDs will do the job.

I use the dimmers with LED lights, but according to the manufacturer, they're supposed to work with CFLs as well.

Yes, assuming you use lamps which are dimmable. some LED's and CFL's are not dimmable. Check the package.

LED lights draw so little power that I cannot be certain that the electronic timer could be compatible with this technology. At 40 watt draw, my timer just did not operate consistently so I cannot imagine how LEDs could be operational. My older Intermatic work perfectly with CFL (3 bulbs @ 27 watt each) but I hesitate to state with confidence that a very low "load" will work with this timer. Just an educational assumption.

No! It will not work with CFL bulbs.It only works with incandescent light bulbs.

all timing switches need to have a neutral connector to work with CFL and LED, otherwise your bulbs will flicker. I found out the hard way. It's because regular timers allow a small amount of electricity to go through to power the timer itself which causes issues with CFL/LED bulbs which expect zero electricity when off.But from other people's photo of the wiring, I see a neutral connector on the back so the answer is YES it will work without the flickering issues for all bulb types.

Yes. I have been running CFLs off three of these timers for more than a year. Works fine.
